Chapter 191: Silver Again
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
However, it was not only Master Tao who was standing there, but also Tao Xing’s brother, Tao Feng, whom he hated very much.
Tao Feng had a smile on his face, and his expression was filled with gloating.
Old Master Tao had already walked forward and said to Liu Wei and Gu Yundong, “The Tao family admits defeat. Young Master Liu is so capable. The friends you know are not ordinary people.”
Liu Wei secretly cursed the old fox in his heart, but he said with a smile, “Thank you for your praise.”
Under Master Tao’s sharp gaze, Tao Xing finally took out 320 taels of silver and handed it to Liu Wei.
Liu Wei retracted his hand and called Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan upstairs.
He didn’t want to talk to Master Tao. Anyway, he had already gotten what he wanted.
Gu Yundong was also satisfied. She was no longer short of money. With this money, she could buy land, build a factory, and collect sugar cane.
Life was getting better bit by bit.
Thinking back to those days in the apocalypse, it really felt like heaven now.
Gu Yundong’s footsteps were light. She had only taken two steps when she suddenly realized that Shao Qingyuan was not following her.
She was stunned for a moment. She turned her head and saw that he was looking at a certain point with a dark gaze. Following his gaze, Gu Yundong could not help but feel strange. Shao Qingyuan… Why was he looking at Master Tao?
“Why? Do you know Master Tao?”
Shao Qingyuan came back to his senses and shook his head slowly. He smiled at her and said, “I don’t know him. Let’s go up.”
Although Gu Yundong was curious, he did not seem to be willing to say more, so she did not ask further.
They followed Liu Wei back to the Liu family’s private room. At this moment, the people in the lobby downstairs suddenly reacted and rushed upstairs in unison.
“Miss, is what you said true? We’ll be able to buy this white sugar soon?”
“That’s right. Where can we buy it?”
“Which shop? Does it really only cost 100 copper coins per tael?”
“Miss, please wait. I’m the second young master of the Gao family. You can cooperate with our Gao family to sell white sugar. Our Gao family…”
“Get lost. I’m from the Fu family.”
“All of you, stop dreaming. Can’t you see that there’s a Liu family over there?
That girl must have cooperated with the Liu family.”
As soon as he said this, the others stopped.
That’s right. The Liu family was richer than them. It was not their turn.
However, they did not give up. Many people still went upstairs to talk to Gu Yundong.
Fortunately, Liu Wei brought them away quickly. After entering the private room, Old Master Liu immediately asked his steward to go out and deal with them. Only then did they heave a sigh of relief.
In contrast, the Tao family of three did not come up. Master Tao did not even want to stay in this restaurant for long. He turned around and left with his two sons.
As Tao Xing walked, his eyes darted around.
After getting into the carriage, he immediately went to Master Tao’s side and said, “Father, are you willing to let us lose these five shops? That Liu family did it on purpose. That sugar was prepared long ago and they even pretended to be about to lose. They’re sinister and despicable.”
Old Master Tao was angry and disappointed in his son. “That’s because you’re stupid. You fell into the trap so easily.”
After saying that, he closed her eyes and ignored him.
Tao Xing gritted his teeth. “Father, I didn’t think this through. I accept the punishment, but it’s not like we can’t get it back.”
“Oh, how do you want to get it back?” Tao Feng asked, but he looked at Tao Xing with disdain.
Tao Xing didn’t even look at him and continued to say to Master Tao, “Father, that Gu girl is just a country girl. We can totally force her to hand over the formula..”
